        I used to be close with a dragon named xe, and xis human alter, Henk. At one time, their headspace was filled with a corrosive black fog that killed anything that stepped foot in it. As a wizard, I know that physical problems in headspace are often representations of psychosocial problems, so I asked some questions. Turned out the fog was a metaphor for the guilt Henk felt for hurting Xe in the past. I knew therefore that the antidote would be forgiveness from xe. But how does a feral-form, non-sapient, barely-verbal dragon express forgiveness?

        I shapeshifted into a dragon of the same kind as xe and breathed fire on the fog. My fire did nothing. But xe took the cue, stood up, and added xis own fire. And Xe’s fire burned the fog away, until it was all gone. A sharkplane named Ivy happened to be watching, and fell in love with Me on the spot.

          Aww, you did a good thing! Thanks for sharing.

          Seems like knowing a wizard comes in handy.

            That’s why I firmly believe everyone should learn magic. Magic is an essential skill, like changing a tire. Right now, most wizards are employed by the Epstein class, and we call them publicists. They use images inscribed with symbols to change our perceptions and rewrite reality. Which sucks, because they always rewrite reality to be more capitalist. The working class needs to take magic back from the Epstein class.
